Why do two anecdotes constitute an emergency here? How many alcohol-related incidents were there in the same space of time? Seriously, the low info reefer madness crowd would be hilarious if they didn't nearly always get their way. Society has been perfectly aware the role ethyl alcohol plays in...

"President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program." When does a president have the authority to ignore the Constitution and the laws he SWORE an oath to defend and create out of hand an exemption for one class of persons? Is this compassion or actually a pandering ...

..... but people need to learn to live with wildlife--not exterminate it for convenience. As long as they are in someone else's backyard and affects someone else's livelihood. And speaking of "mass killings." Federal and state wildlife officials have had to kill over 1500 nuisance w...

Hmmmmm. Who is running for office and who wants to garner what vote? Apparently Mr. Quick forgets it is the job of the executive branch of government to defend and/or prosecute the violation of legally enacted laws passed by the legislative. Without that, we are a nation of whims, not laws. Un...

(READ that again) The remainder of these citations are being issued to responsible drivers, ...

Not to forget, a new felony DUI law needs to require prosecution and a mandatory sentence for that felony. That is where deterrence and removing the dangerous from the streets lie. Give a DA discretion, they will simply use the possibility of prison time to negotiate a plea bargain. That is cal...

The agency claims Johnson violated the Clean Water Act by building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. I understand the frustration of this family but I agree with the EPA on this one. Creating a pond changes the environment and the Johnsons knew this since they sa...

Ostrow writes: At a time when a certain part of the population questions evolution, denies global warming and would rather cut funding for scientific research, "Cosmos" is both a beautiful story and a strong political argument. One may choose to place their faith in time and chance and...

Alas, be anti-death penalty and then work backwards in an attempt to justify that stance. It would be wonderful if punishment was sure and swift, but this ain't Dodge City in 1870. And as a friendly reminder, when all contrived appeals are exhausted there might be a weak-kneed governor to further ...

denverdrew writes: Because as you know, there's NOTHING in the New Testament about homosexuality. Surely, you've studied this and know it to be immutable fact, right? Which version of the New Testament are you reading, The Reverse Standard ? How about: Matthew 19:1-8 Romans 1:18-32 1...

ericandrew001 writes: The point of the article is that it is unconstitutional to jail someone for failing to pay debt. Besides, there are other ways to punish someone who doesn't pay fines: Garnishing wages, refusing to renew drivers licences or withholding state tax returns. Logically, incarce...

As they say, and practiced in law, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Failure to pay a fine is a separate CRIME punishable by jail time. That is the incentive to pay a city, a county or the state what is owed as a result of breaking a duly enacted law. It is nice that the ACLU wants a payment p...

As much as one "wants to help," continuing to pay unemployment benefits beyond 26 weeks makes as much sense as taking out a loan so you can drop change into a Salvation Army Kettle? The liberals are looking to create a new normal. We just need to keep millions on the public dole to ensure...

HEADLINE: First the Colorado floods, then TABOR TABOR was voted into law by referendum in 1992 - 21 years ago. If the DP is inferring that TABOR is a natural disaster, it was created by a citizenry attempting to control the growth of state government and spending. If not for TABOR, how close to lo...

"Why not ask voters to exempt that money from TABOR? That's not a tax-hike request. It's a tax-retention request." So if I have more withheld for the Colorado Income Tax than I end up owing, by the Post's reasoning, the state could just claim it.....after all I "gave it" to them...

Ah, the government declaring success. How about an independent analysis? What is the apparent success so far? Thousands upon thousands getting signed up for free Medicaid and thousands upon thousands losing their insurance coverage with choices costing more in premiums with high deductibles. Th...

"Obama is now allowing insurance companies to reissue their canceled policies for another year" This is clearly illegal under the ACA that specifies that Insurance policies that fail to meet new bureaucratic mandates were TO BE CANCELLED because they will be illegal. So then let's pass ...

To ensure the survival of the Mexican Wolf, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife might consider doing exactly what they did to ensure the "survival" of the Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf (Canis Lupis irremotus). Go up to the MacKenzie Valley in Canada and grab some of those never endangered larger, m...
